Preston - Will be interesting to see the difference in the plants planted in 5-1-1 and the ones in standard potting soil.

I wonder if the straw under the dirt at the bottom of the pot, helps with the drainage or cause more problems with nitrogen consumption? Interesting experiment Preston.

To get proper results, i shouldve planted a pot with the 5-1-1 by itself as a comparison to the 5-1-1 + pine straw. i have plenty of little peppers to plant out soon so ill have to make that an option.

what size pots you using?

At the moment they are in 1 gal. pots and once the plants reach a foot or so in height, ill transfer them to their final homes ( 5 gal. )

That tree hab will get BIG! Had one last year in a 3 gallon pot, and it got over 6' and produced like crazy. Got it in the ground now, and I'm gonna see just how big it'll get until first frost. The other three I had planted in the ground got 8'+...

I like to hear that. This is my first year growing the tree hab. Im hoping to get plenty of pods.

Avid - Do you the same varieties of pepper in each type of soil? If not maybe you could, if you have plants to still pot up, plant a few of the same varieties in each soil type. Just a thought.

i'll surely do that. i have a few duplicates i can put in each soil type with/without ferts.

Week 2 of progress for the potted plants. Not much just a little growth. The aji crystal bronchi project seems to be going well so far!

Preston

The aji crystal has made tons of progress. It currently has flowers so I'm expecting pods soon!

Then I have a few sprouts for my last batch coming in...
